A.W. Tozer, in The Knowledge of the Holy, wrote these words about God's wisdom in our lives: "To believe actively that our Heavenly Father constantly spreads around us providential circumstances that work for our present good and our everlasting well-being brings to the soul a veritable benediction. Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart. There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God… God has charged Himself with full responsibility for our eternal happiness and stands ready to take over the management of our lives the moment we turn in faith to Him." (A.W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy, p. 63.)
In the Bible, wisdom begins and ends with Jesus. God is infinitely wise. When Daniel described God's wisdom, he wrote, "He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him." (Dan. 2:21-22)
Nothing's ever a mystery to God. He is never puzzled or confused or uncertain. When we ask He is willing to fill us with His discernment and wisdom. Today keep closer to the Lord and learn from His wise counsel and gain a heart of wisdom.
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this morning. I am glad I am alive and breathing. Take care of all my things. Fill me with your wisdom as I do my things. I am trusting you. In Jesus name,
Amen.
